Walled Lake Western High School Ratings & Reviews

The choir program is phenomenal here at Walled Lake Western. This school is on the rough side of the 3 Walled lake High schools and surrounding area schools. Football is where most of the money goes to, so if you want to play go there. If you are female and want to participate in sports, go to any other school. Academically, the school is fair to good. Because there are so many lower learning students in this school, the higher academic classes seem full or not enough of them. The building itself has seen better days.

This is such an awesome school. I would definitely recommend having your kids go here. I graduated in 2010. I loved going to this school, the first year was rough but I ended up finding out who my true friends were. I was in band and choir and I had such a blast. I was sad to leave when I graduated. There was a couple teachers that weren't that good but every other teacher was nice and taught really well. I learned a lot and I definitely miss it.

The great schools website should first correct the address of Walled Western High School. Check the school's website and you will see that the school is located in Walled Lake, not Commerce Township. You have several incorrect cities for many of the Walled Lake Schools. This cite should correct all of its incorrect information. The school is very good and is striving for excellence!

I graduated in 2007. I moved here from the Novi public school district, and I have to say, when I was doing work in the regular classes at this high school, it was the same work I did when I was in elementary school, literally. Majority of the time, I was just bored, since the curriculum was so dumbed down. Teachers even admitted to my parents at conferences that it was dumbed down. So, in order not to loose their jobs from having a lot of failing students, they just gave them easy busy work. As a result, going here did not prepare me for college at all. When I came to college, I really had to work 10 times as hard, if not more, to catch up to those who had went to districts such like those of Troy, Novi, or West Bloomfield. If you must have your child attend this school, I would advise them take AP classes and maybe get some tutoring, right when starting, since there is such a gap between AP and normal classes. Also, there is some diversity at this school, but among the students there is little tolerance for one another. They'll also try to get you to pay book fees, art fees, etc. when they are aware it's illegal under Michigan state law to do so. I would be wary of this school.

Since I was a graduate of Walled Lake Western and liked it I also wanted both of my children to go there too! They have a great staff.
